A heavy, right-slanted serif with flared terminals and softened, wedge-like endings that read as neither sharp nor slabby. Letterforms have broad, rounded bowls and compact interior counters, with an energetic rhythm created by the consistent slant and slightly springy curves. Strokes stay largely even while subtly swelling into terminals, giving the forms a sculpted, ink-trap-free solidity. Uppercase shapes feel sturdy and headline-oriented; lowercase keeps a clear, readable skeleton with single-storey forms where shown and a distinctly curved, ball-topped feel on dotted letters.
Best suited for short, prominent text such as headlines, poster titles, branding marks, sports or event graphics, and punchy packaging callouts. It can also work for subheads and short bursts of copy where a strong, energetic typographic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bold and upbeat, mixing a vintage display sensibility with a modern, athletic forward motion. It feels assertive and promotional, but the rounded shaping and flared endings keep it approachable rather than severe.
The design appears intended to deliver maximum impact with a forward-leaning stance and flared serif detailing, balancing retro warmth with contemporary boldness for display-driven communication.
The numerals are dense and high-impact, matching the weight and slant of the letters and maintaining consistent visual color across mixed text. The flared endings help maintain clarity at large sizes, while the tight counters and strong joins push the style toward attention-grabbing display use.
